赵成 / Zhao Cheng (Qin)
赵成 / Zhao Cheng (Qin) enters the wiki through Qinji 138 as 赵高’s younger brother. The episode says Zhao Gao had several brothers born in the same hidden-office environment, but Zhao Cheng is the only one whose name survives in the account.
The source gives Zhao Cheng a late-court role. He later takes Zhao Gao’s place as 郎中令 and participates with Zhao Gao and 阎乐 in the move against 胡亥 / 秦二世. This page is disambiguated from 赵成 / Zhao Cheng (Warring States), the Zhao royal elder connected to 赵武灵王 and 胡服骑射.
Qinji 138 part 2 keeps Zhao Cheng inside the coup machinery rather than making him the public attacker. The source says a palace-side郎中令 functions as inner support while Yan Le attacks 望夷宫, so Zhao Cheng’s importance lies in access coordination inside Zhao Gao’s family-backed seizure.
Key Claims
- Zhao Cheng is Zhao Gao’s brother, not the Warring States Zhao elder of the same name.
- The source places Zhao Cheng in the same hidden-office family background used to discuss 隐官身份误读.
- Zhao Cheng later becomes 郎中令 after Zhao Gao.
- He joins Zhao Gao and Yan Le in the palace-coup branch against Hu Hai.
- Qinji 138 part 2 places Zhao Cheng on the inner-access side of the Wangyi Palace coup, complementing Yan Le’s armed exterior role.
